On the first Noel… well the angels did sing
But the melody faded and they lost the whole thing
Since that night we’ve been searching for a celestial tune
But there’s one thing this shepherd can do…
Let’s raise a glass to the ghosts of all Christmases past
A song for the year and the love that won’t last
Your heart may it open
To those on the road as they pass… you by
On some desolate highway, as I shake off the cold
I’ve seen too many travelers paying mid-winter’s toll
And my gauge is on empty
So I’ll sit by the light of the moon
And raise this flask to the ghosts of all Christmases past
A song for the year, cuz it’s not mean to last
Life is stranger than fiction
But better with ones to hold fast
Now it’s hard to remember what the heart won’t forget
All these years I’ve been wasted, sewing seeds of regret
But there’s hope in the night sky
Just as sure as the North Star is true
So let’s raise a glass to the ghost of all Christmases past
A song for the year and your love, may it last
Your heart may it open
To those on the road as they pass… pass you by.
